To be honest, from pics I've seen, overall I think Hammer has a bit better of a physique than that guy.

You want some salsa with that foot in your mouth?

I thought they go away once your skin catches up with your growth? I had some from when I gained 30 pounds of mostly fat but when I lost it they almost completely went away.
I've seen real skinny girls with them so I dunno.

It's more genetic than anything else.

Some people are blessed with skin that doesn't damage that way.


And fat = stretch marks is a huge myth.


But you probably know this already.

"Some people are blessed with skin that doesn't damage that way."

Not really. If you are genetically skinny, and if you gain a lot of fat or muscle ... you are bound to get stretch marks.


"And fat = stretch marks is a huge myth."

Well, when I pigged out and got to 260lbs, that's when my stretch marks started.

JMHO.

I think it has to do with the elasticity of the person's skin. The classis ectomorphs are more prone to stretch marks if they gain a lot of weight than the endomorphs (specially if done fast).

I used to think I never got stretch marks, but that's cause I never really got enough to the point where my skin would stretch. Once I broke the 250lbs mark, I noticed them coming.

This is just my personal experience and from what i've noticed ...

When I got my vertup to 40+ is when I noticed the thick bands under my hammies

never had one I'm afraid. taking tons of fishoil probably helps skin elasticity
